Message I don't think the OEM ones come pre-gapped. I always check when installing for peace of mind.

Additionally, if you're running a bit more boost than stock you might consider a differ gap setting. I've read on here or somewhere that stock gap and plugs are good to 18psi or something like that but Z1 and ConceptZ recommend otherwise. Maybe it's a trial and error/ymmv type thing... but anyways:

0.044" - Stock
0.035" - 15psi
0.031" - 18psi

When I did mine I gapped to .031 but I also was replacing plugs that I believe were for an NA. I have GT535R turbos set to 18psi and was getting a ton of spark blowout where my car would stutter around 3500-4500psi depending on how hard I floored it and the car would barely accelerate. Sounds like what you've got going on.
